Limited Edition-Reserve Your Copy Now Think of having a complete file of this historic newspaper the most unique souvenir of the war! You will find endless fascination in the many great features that an army eagerly read-Walgren's famous cartoons, Baldridge's drawings, the Poets' Column, the Letters of Henry's Pal to Henry, the Liars' Column, Captain Hansen's official accounts of the battles, skirmishes and marches, the histories of the Divisions and Divisional insignia, etc. Nowhere else in the world will you find a written history comparable to the vivid, realistic, day-byday account of our soldiers in France as set down in the overseas Stars and Stripes, the newspaper our soldiers wrote and published over there in the thick of the fight. In no other war has such a record been kept, for the Stars and Stripes constitutes the whole story of the war as the doughboys themselves saw it first-hand in all its hardship, grimness, and tragedy. In this remarkable newspaper appeared pictures drawn by soldiers who lay in shell holes, crouching as the crashing explosions of shells spattered them with mud and then peeped over the top to sketch what they Stories of charges through the death-haunted mists of No Man's Land were scrawled on dirty scraps of paper saw. by men who laid aside their guns to tell of the stirring things they had witnessed. Poems that were epics of the humor and pathos of the doughboy's life were written in the gloom of damp and dismal dugouts-some of them by men who lived only a few short hours after. No artists or writers in the world have ever had a more appreciative following than did the men who made the Stars and Stripes. And it is not hard to understand their popularity, for these men who wrote and drew for the columns of the paper were men who lived day to day as the ordinary soldier lived. They ate the same food, they slept in the same quarters, were billeted in the same barns and sheds, and they fought side by side with the doughboys-they were the doughboys themselves. The Most Amazing Chronicle of Its Kind Ever Written Such a paper is history unparalleled. It is more than history-it is life itself. But not the dark, dismal kind of life that you might imagine. For the American doughboy carried a smile with him that made him famous among the armies of the world. This smile. of his is reflected from every page of his paper. Even in the blood and pain of battle, the doughboy saw something that stirred his humor. Reading the doughboys' account of "his" war is the next thing to being there yourself. Such a record has never been kept before. It is a priceless document that will live forever to be read and reread by generations to come an inspiring record of the dauntless spirit of the American soldier in the greatest war of history.

A MEDALLION OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT TH The Outlook HE Roosevelt Memorial Association has provided an opportunity for its members to secure a most excellent medallion of Mr. Roosevelt. This medallion was designed by James E. Fraser, whose bust of Theodore Roosevelt is one of the best portrait studies of Mr. Roosevelt in existence. This bust is now in the Senate Chamber of the United States. Mr. Fraser will also be remembered by many who attended the San Francisco Exposition in 1915 as the sculptor who produced the remarkable statue "The End of the Trail." He is also the designer of our five-cent coin which bears the head of the Indian and the figure of a buffalo. The new medallion of Mr. Roosevelt is about the size of a twenty-dollar gold piece. The reproduction on this page is larger than the medal itself. The trustees of the Roosevelt Memorial Association have voted to award this medal to any member of the Association hereafter securing five or more additional members with subscriptions aggregating not less than ten dollars. The medal will not be purchasable. Readers of The Outlook will remember from previous editorials that the Roosevelt Memorial Association is collecting funds for a threefold memorial to Colonel Roosevelt -a monument in Washington, a park at Oyster Bay, and a living memorial in the form of a National foundation for the development and application of Roosevelt's ideals for the benefit of the American people. The medal itself is well worth the effort necessary to secure it, and the money collected will go to a cause in which every American may take pride. The National headquarters of the Association, to which application for subscription blanks may be made, is at 1 Madison Avenue, New York City. gan THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES E have already reported the results of the Presidential primaries in Michigan and Illinois. Since the Michiand Illinois contests there have been primary elections of significance in Georgia and Nebraska. The Republican party is of comparatively little moment in Georgia, although it will of course have representatives in the Chicago Convention. These are already pledged to Lowden. The chief interest in the Geor gia primary was on the Democratic side. The contestants were Attorney-General Palmer, representing the Administration; Senator Hoke Smith, who is an opponent of the Administration; and Mr. Thomas Watson, a few years ago Nationally prominent as a Populistic radical. Mr. Watson, by the way, is a better author than politician, for his remarkable and unusually readable history of the French Revolution is likely to endure long after his erratic and ill-balanced influence on Georgia politics has passed away. Mr. Watson, although nominally a Democrat, is an opponent of the Ad FOUNDER'S MEDAL OF THE ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION, DESIGNED BY JAMES E. FRASER ministration. The primary in Georgia was to elect delegates to a convention which will, in turn, elect the delegates to the National Convention at San Francisco. Attorney-General Palmer carried the State, and a larger number of delegates will support him in the State Convention than either Senator Hoke Smith or Mr. Watson. This is the more significant because Mr. Palmer is a Northern man and Senator Smith and Mr. Watson are Georgians. It is true that if Senator Smith and Mr. Watson should combine their forces in the State Convention they could outvote the Palmer representatives, but we should think that there was little likelihood of such a coalition taking place. The political theories and practices of Senator Smith and Mr. Watson are as divergent as oil and water. P ERHAPS the chief value of the primary struggles is to show the currents of public opinion and the influence of those currents upon the National election of November. For this reason the Democratic contest in Nebraska rather overshadowed in political and human interest the Republican contest. General Pershing, General Wood, and Senator Johnson were the Republican candidates. The popular demand in Nebraska, according to the figures of the primary vote, is for Mr. Johnson first, General Wood second, and General Pershing a considerably outdistanced third. It should be remembered that Nebraska has a somewhat radical history in politics; it was one of the centers of the Populist movement of twenty-five years ago. There were during the war period perhaps more pro-Germans in Nebraska in proportion to population than in any other State in the Union except Wisconsin. It is fair to surmise that Senator Johnson's vote included the radical and pro-German elements. There is no question that the result of the primaries in Illinois and Nebraska greatly increases the importance of Senator Johnson's candidacy. It is equally clear that he is to be the champion of the extreme radicals in the Chicago Convention. THE PRIMARIES AND THE HE Nebraska primary was, however, side. Just before this primary election Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, who has been a loyal and consistent supporter of President Wilson's policy and course on the League of Nations, came out in a public statement courteously but frankly criticising President Wilson in these words: Of course Woodrow Wilson made mistakes. He made a mistake when he proceeded to negotiate a Treaty of Peace without taking a few leading members of the Senate into his confidence. He made a mistake when he hurt the feelings of proud Senators by ignoring them until after he had negotiated the Treaty. If he had catered to and consulted with those Senators, he would have had an easy time with ratification. He lacked the tact and forethought. He knew that the Constitution placed in his hands the negotiation of treaties, and he unwisely assumed that if he performed his duty the Senate would do its duty and consent to ratification. The utterance of this criticism just before the Nebraska primaries is an indica tion that Senator Hitchcock believes that Nebraska Democrats are in sympathy. with Mr. Bryan, who as long ago as last January came out openly against Presi dent Wilson's management of the League of Nations issue. Senator Hitchcock also expressed sympathy with the "wets," from which it has been inferred that, if 'successful in Nebraska, a strong effort will be made in San Francisco to have a plank in the National Democratic platform favoring the admission of beer and light wine in the definition of alcoholic beverages under the Prohibition Amendment. But, somewhat to the surprise of political observers, Mr. Bryan and at least one of his associates were elected delegates for Nebraska. If Mr. Bryan has a seat on the floor of the San Francisco Convention, he will lead a very strong opposition against any attempt to evade a strict construction of the Prohibition Amendment, and will also, it is believed, oppose any effort to nominate a ticket or write a platform supporting President Wilson's ironclad opposition to the Peace Treaty without reservations. So far the results in both the Republican and Democratic primaries throughout the country indicate a public opinion, not necessarily opposed to the idea of the League of Nations in the intransigeant spirit of the Democratic Senator Reed or the Republican Senator Johnson, but certainly opposed to President Wilson's stiff-necked insistence upon the Covenant of the League as he presented it with no reservations at all. A COAL TRUST DISSOLVED AN important case involving alleged N important case involving alleged Act has just been decided by the United States Supreme Court. An action was brought by the United States Government some six or seven years ago to compel the dissolution of a holding corporation known as the Reading Company. It was charged that this company, through its control of the Reading Railway Company and a company known as the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, which in turn controlled separate mining companies, restrained trade and prevented competition. This the Supreme Court now says was the case, and adds that the purpose was accomplished by "an adroit division of property and of corporate agency." Thus, says the majority opinion of the Supreme Court (the decision was made by a four-to-three vote of the Court), the Reading Company secured the dominating control, and this was done by "deliberate, calculated purchase for control." In other words, the holding company, the decision states, coutrols two separate mining companies, which should be com (C) Keystone View Co. SAN REMO, THE ITALIAN TOWN IN WHICH THE ALLIES' SUPREME COUNCIL MET petitors, but which are not allowed to . One singular result of the decision was the immediate rise in price of the Reading Railway Company's stock, a rise which amounted to from twelve to fifteen points. The fact recalls the attempt of the Supreme Court to dissolve the Standard Oil Company. What happened then suggests that what cannot be done directly may be done by indirection. In this case apparently the stockholders of the railway company believe that the dissolution between the holding company and the railway and mining companies will result in something equivalent to a stock dividend for the stockholders of the railway company. The anthracite industry is in its nature more subject to combination and less adapted for free competition than most industries. This is because of the limited anthracite territory and the limitation also of possible production as compared with soft coal. The Supreme Court and the Inter-State Commerce Commission have always held that the same interests should not be allowed to carry on in combination the coal mining, the coal transportation, and the coal distributing business. It is evident that if this combination exists in any form the consumer is practically at the mercy of the controlling interests, for those interests may shift their profit-taking to any one of the three branches of the combined business as the pressure through laws or business conditions makes most desirable. representatives of the Allied Powers at San Remo last week is in effect a justification of that action by France which checked Germany's violation of treaty obligations. The point and purpose of France's occupation of German cities was to make it clear to the German mind that what would not be tolerated for a moment without repressive and retalia tory action by France was disregard by Germany of the military clauses of the Treaty. The San Remo declaration makes this position taken by France the common attitude of the Allies, for the declaration says: "The Allies realize the difficulties met by the German Government, and do not seek to impose too narrow an interpretation of the Treaty, but they are unanimous in declaring that they cannot tolerate a continuation of these infractions of the Treaty of Versailles; that the Treaty must be executed and remain as the basis of relations between Germany and the Allies, and that they are resolved to take all measures, even, if necessary the occupation of an additional part of German territory [italics ours], in order to insure execution of the Treaty. They affirm, however, that they have no in tention of annexing any part of the German territory." Furthermore, the Powers flatly and positively, indeed even curtly, refus the request of Germany that she be au thorized to retain an army of 200,000 me instead of 100,000, as provided in th Treaty. As has been, pointed out, Ge many does not need military airships o heavy guns or large forces of regula troops in order to improve her industria and commercial situation.
